I did at 17. I did stupid stuff with it, but no accidents or tickets. Learned a lot from that car and enjoyed it very much.

Got mine last year when I was 18. Now I wish I had more money to get performance parts but, paying for gas and making the payments has stifled such plans. I still love my car though.

My first car was a 96 Plymouth Neon 2.0L SOHC 5speed. It was junk. I had it since I was 15.
My next car was a 95 Camaro 3.4L 5speed. Bought this at 17.
Then I bought my SS at the age of 18.

first car was a 88 Fiero GT that was pimp at that time.

Second car was a 98 camaro v6- bought it as a DD and to get a my ws6 after college.

My first car was a 1985 Z28. I was T-Boned in the drivers door @ 50mph. Totaled it within a year. 2nd car was a 1979 Z-28, sold it, Then a 1986 IROC-Z, sold, had some other cars & trucks including a Mustang (I know, but it was actually not that bad, Not fast, but other than that...) Now I have a 99 Z28. Its not my DD anymore, but Its my toy.
